EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Life in America" transports us back to a time of lawlessness and danger on the American frontier. The scene depicts a train under attack by masked robbers, their faces hidden behind bandanas as they ruthlessly plunder all the helpless travelers on board. The artist, Achille Beltrame, skillfully captures the chaos and fear that must have gripped those unfortunate passengers. Women and men alike are seen with their hands raised in surrender while the criminals go about their criminal activities without mercy. The atmosphere is tense, as revolvers are brandished by both sides. This illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday in September 1907, serving as a visual representation of an alarming news item from that era. It serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by those who dared to travel across vast expanses of land via rail during this tumultuous period in American history. Beltrame's attention to detail is evident throughout the composition; from the intricate seating arrangements within each carriage to the expressions of terror etched onto every face. This print not only showcases his artistic talent but also provides valuable insight into life during this time. "Life in America" stands as a testament to both Beltrame's skill as an illustrator and his ability to capture significant moments in history through art. It serves as a powerful reminder of how far society has come since these lawless days on small railways lines across North America.
